Bulls' Noah Vonleh: Won't play final game Wednesday

by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire

Vonleh (calf) is listed as out for Wednesday's season finale against the Pistons.

Vonleh's fourth year in the league ends in somewhat disappointing fashion, as he was forced to sit out the final four games while nursing a calf strain. In 54 games split between the Trail Blazers and Bulls, Vonleh finished the 2017-18 campaign averaging 4.9 points and 5.8 rebounds across 16.2 minutes. At this point, it's unclear if Vonleh will receive a qualifying offer from the Bulls this offseason, so his status with the team is up in the air for the time being.

Vonleh continues to nurse a calf injury and with just one game left following Monday's contest, we may have seen the last of him this season. Lauri Markkanen is back in the lineup after getting the night off for rest, while Bobby Portis should continue to back him up, so look for those two to get the bulk of the power forward workload.

Vonleh (calf) is listed as out on the team's game notes in advance of Saturday's matchup with the Nets.

Vonleh has been nursing a calf injury of late, and it looks as though it will keep him out for a second straight game. His next chance to play will come Monday when the Bulls again square off with the Nets -- this time, in Brooklyn.

Vonleh (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic Chicago reports.

Vonleh suffered a strained left calf in Tuesday's game against the Hornets and was unable to return after just seven minutes. With the Bulls set to play a back-to-back Friday and Saturday, it's possible Vonleh could be ruled out for the team's matchup with Brooklyn as well, but the Bulls likely won't have an update until after shootaround Saturday morning.

Vonleh (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's matchup with the Celtics.

Vonleh strained his calf during Tuesday's tilt with the Hornets, eventually leaving the contest after just seven minutes. It's encouraging that Vonleh isn't being ruled out a day in advance, but his status will still need to be monitored up through pregame warmups. Lauri Markkanen is expected to take the court as usual Friday, so if Vonleh plays, he'll slot in off the bench.
